Deep Glamour Pets--Cats
Cats are just inherently glamorous, and they seem to inspire boudoir shots.

Deep Glamour is pleased to present our first Pet Week pin-ups, canine division.
Abby by Barbara Ellis. She reminds me of Greer Garson, in Mrs. Miniver.
Pet Week winners will be announced soon. Stay tuned!
Wonton by Celia.
Sasha by Kelly. A blue-eyed Siberan Husky. Or maybe those are tinted contacts?
Lucy Maybelline by Sheri Squires. She's lounging on a George Nelson pillow.
Pumpkin by Tyler Chesher. She has such a 30s quality--looks like a character right out of Public Enemies.
Incidentally, photographer Deborah Chesher offers her rock and roll photos at a special Christmas in July rate.
Dogs might come in all shapes, sizes and temperments, but when it comes to glamorous pets, small dogs get a lot of the love. Tiny dog owner (and tiny dog clothing designer) Paris Hilton is not alone in her love for all things tiny and canine - if photos on the now defunct Celebrity Dog Blog are to be believed, small is the size of choice among starlets all over LA.
While small dogs might have their pick of designer doggie carriers and dresses that would make a beauty pageant contestant green with envy, big dogs have a brand of glamour all their own.
Thanks, simply, to their size, big dogs often have a regal air. When they're in motion they're full of power and grace, showing off what their size can do. Capably glamorous. But when they're at rest, that's when the real power shines through. The most glamorous big dogs are almost feline in their attitude - the way they survey what's around them lets you know that they're in charge. They're Joan Collins, hair wrapped in a turban, sipping a glass of champagne while someone else (their owner) does their bidding.
So which is more glamorous, the trendy petite pooch ensonced in Louis or the grande dame clad in nothing but a collar and a haughty look?
That, I believe, is a question for the ages.

Mabel and Evie by Sarah Godwin.
Mabel and Evie are both a mix of terrier (probably Cairn) and Chinese Crested (powderpuff) and were adopted from a shelter network. Since their adoption, they have wholeheartedly embraced the princess life.
Daisy by Nina Bargiel. Daisy is a special, special girl and Nina has the stories to prove that statement.
Sadie by Marjorie Strum. As befits a Bay area cat, she's sweet and tolerant.
